Description
The AIV suffix indicates that it utilizes Avanos's proprietary Anti-IV port system rather than the now-standard ENFit connector. It is designed for neonatal or pediatric patients requiring a very small diameter tube with an integrated stylet for guided insertion.
Key Features
ANTI-IV* Safety Connector: This connector was designed specifically to prevent the accidental connection of enteral feeding sets to IV lines. It will not accept standard Luer-lock or Luer-slip syringes.
5 French Ultra-Thin Bore: The smallest standard diameter available in this length, making it suitable for infants and small children to minimize airway resistance and nasal irritation.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire. Due to the high flexibility of 5 Fr polyurethane, the stylet is necessary to provide the column strength needed for accurate placement into the stomach.
36-inch Length: An extended length for a 5 Fr tube, allowing for use in larger pediatric patients who still require a very small diameter or for configurations where significant external tubing is needed.
Non-Weighted (Clear) Tip: The tube is non-weighted to ensure maximum comfort and to prevent pressure-related damage to the delicate gastric lining of pediatric patients.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Stronger than silicone, this medical-grade material allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen, which is critical for maintaining the flow of breast milk or formula through such a narrow tube.
